Re: echinacea question

Good site Ceres - thanks. No mine doesn't look like that. The two
'mutants' are just perfectly healthy maturing seedheads, just no petals.
The rest of the blooms on this plant are fine. Funny looking things
those two. I'll probably deadhead them tonight so more energy can go
toward forming new flowers. Interesting information though, I never knew
so much could go wrong w/ echinacea. They've been so carefree in my
yard. I have a bumper crop of babies coming up now - a thank you gift
from the finches I leave the seedheads for in late autumn.

Again - thanks to all of you knowledgable folks.  I always learn so much from everyone on this list.

:-)
